For Pete's Sake Don't ask a police officer if you have an arrest warrant on you

Don't even think of asking a police officer if you have a warrant for arrest unless you don't mind him arresting you on the spot. Any officer of the law will be pleased to do a search for your active arrest warrants but if he finds one then he will have no option but to take you in and arrest you. Wouldn't it be better if you found out for yourself in a discrete and confidential way? If you find out that way you have a warrant then you can do something about it in your own good time.

If you want to avoid an early morning call from the police then you need to check if you have any warrants and give yourself up if you do.

Have you forgotten to pay a fine? Do you even know that you have a fine? Have you been driving fast and picked up a ticket that you haven't been notified of yet?
